Zócalo kicks off summer with 18 new menu items

Lunch and dinner menus get fresh additions in the midst of al fresco dining season

KANSAS CITY, MO. (June 25, 2015) – As summer heats up,Zócalo introduces 18 new dishes added to its lunch and dinner menus. Updates include new specialties, enchiladas, tacos, tortas, and salads with thoughtfully-selected ingredients and flavor combinations. The fresh, new dishes were developed by the Zócalo culinary team, under the leadership of Executive Chef Drue Kennedy.

Dish preparation changes to the menu also include enchiladas made fresh per order; the process includes first dipping each corn tortilla in enchilada sauce and rolling individually per entrée. Light, healthy options also join the menu, offering portion-conscious tacos and salads for lighter appetites. Contemporary Mexican kitchen spices continue to dominate the menu offerings, as well as refreshing vinaigrettes, salsas and flavors.

Further, Zócalo has recently added fresh cocktails to its drink menu, as well as offering bottomless brunch cocktails during Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. In addition, Zócalo is currently working on a complete interior renovation, to be completed by the end of the summer.
